A real-time algorithm for accurate localization of facial landmarks in a single monocular image is proposed. The algorithm is formulated as an optimization problem, in which the sum of responses of local classifiers is maximized with respect to the camera pose by fitting a generic (not a person-specific) 3D model. The algorithm simultaneously estimates a head position and orientation and detects the facial landmarks in the image. Despite being local, we show that the basin of attraction is large to the extent it can be initialized by a scanning window face detector. Other experiments on standard datasets demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms a state-of-the-art landmark detector especially for non-frontal face images, and that it is capable of reliable and stable tracking for large set of viewing angles. |
